Oven-Baked Smoked Cheeseburger Queso Dip

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp; drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces, reserving a handful for garnish.
2. Drain the excess fat and brown the ground beef in the same skillet over medium-high until fully cooked; drain the grease. Whisk together the RoTel, yellow mustard, Worcestershire, and liquid smoke in a small bowl.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the Velveeta, sharp cheddar, and pepper jack in an even layer in a 9x13 foil pan. Top with the drained beef, chopped bacon, and chopped dill pickles, then pour the RoTel mixture evenly over all.
4. Bake uncovered 10 minutes, stir vigorously to mix the melted cheese with the meats, then return to the oven 10-15 minutes more until hot and bubbling. Sprinkle the reserved bacon over the top and serve immediately with chips.
